Meeting ID: 813 1819 0952
Passcode: 747633
The Candidate’s Night will run as follows:
A previous email was sent out with a request for questions for the BOE candidates. The deadline to submit questions was Monday, October 4th. The questions were screened and a reasonable number of questions were selected. No questions will be taken from the audience on the night of the event; only the moderator and the BOE candidates will speak during the Candidate’s Night. Questions will be answered in a rotating cycle by the candidates.
Please review the New Jersey School Board Code of Ethics prior to Candidate’s Night, which may provide a better understanding of the role of the Board of Education.
I will uphold and enforce all laws, state board rules and regulations, and court orders pertaining to schools. Desired changes should be brought about only through legal and ethical procedures.
I will make decisions in terms of the educational welfare of children and will seek to develop and maintain public schools which meet the individual needs of all children regardless of their ability, race, creed, sex, or social standing.
I will confine my board action to policy making, planning and appraisal, and I will help to frame policies and plans only after the board has consulted those who will be affected by them.
I will carry out my responsibility, not to administer the schools, but together with my fellow board members, to see that they are well run.
I will recognize that authority rests with the board of education and will make no personal promises nor take any private action which may compromise the board.
I will refuse to surrender my independent judgment to special interest or partisan political groups or to use the schools for personal gain or for the gain of friends.
I will hold confidential all matters pertaining to the schools which, if disclosed, would needlessly injure individuals or the schools. But, in all other matters, I will provide accurate information and, in concert with my fellow board members, interpret to the staff the aspirations of the community for its schools.
I will vote to appoint the best qualified personnel available after consideration of the recommendation of the chief administrative officer.
I will support and protect school personnel in proper performance of their duties.
I will refer all complaints to the chief administrative officer and will act on such complaints at public meetings only after failure of an administrative solution.
The PTO Board truly believes this will be a great opportunity for the Northvale community to hear from each of the candidates and we hope you will join us on Monday evening to hear from all of the candidates.
Sincerely,
The Northvale PTO
